Orbital Fractures

The orbit is the socket in the skull in which the eye sits. The orbit bone protects the eye from trauma, but like any bony structure it can be broken. One of the most common causes of orbital fractures is car accidents.

There are two types of orbital fractures: an orbital rim fracture and an indirect orbital floor fracture (blowout fracture). An orbital rim fracture requires a substantial amount of force, so sometimes the victim will have other serious injuries including an optic nerve avulsion or a brain injury. A blowout fracture is a break or rupture of the thin orbital floor. With some orbital fractures, the eye muscle will become trapped in the hole created by the fracture which in turn causes vision problems. Depending upon the severity of the fracture, surgery may be required. Victims may also suffer with disfigurement of the face, double vision and other vision deficits.
